Summary
Mike and Rico start off today's show by criticizing the lack of tough questions by the media to A.J. Hinch and other Detroit head coaches/GMs. They stick with this topic until the second hour, where Valenti explains to the people the type of player the Pistons need to target with the 5th overall pick in the NBA Draft tomorrow night. The guys then discuss Steve Yzerman's recent moves and what, if anything, he plans to do following them. Then, they bounce back and forth between these topics for the remainder of the show.

| 1:09.2 | It's an entertainment product. |
| 1:11.6 | Why do I say it? I say it because where we're at in 2024, we are creating safe spaces for team |
